The hotel has a nice lobby. The lounge was somewhat disappointing. I went there after 10 and the kitchen had closed down. Restaurant is not a foodie destination. Basement space could use better configuration. As I recall, you can only enter the cafe from the street. Room comfortable and bathroom updated. The highlight for me was taking a Pilates class... more

I loved this place. We've been doing the tour of a few fairmonts this year do to the friends and family deals and presidents club deals and this is the best one. Beautiful lobby, great little garden. I think the health club looked pretty posh but after climbing the hill a few days in a row there was no need... more

Stayed at the Fairmont with my wife while I was in SF for business. Nice hotel, needs to be updated but overall it was fine. The views of SF from our room were great, however, the room itself is dated. Also, the value was not there. For the price I am not sure I would stay there again as there... more

By far the best hotel we have ever stayed in. We got an 11th floor tower room with a great city view for $160/night. This is the hotel of presidents and royalty, and it showed. The breakfast is expensive, but it offered the best breakfast we have ever had in a hotel outside of Europe (nothing in this hotel is... more

The Fairmont is legendary and we really enjoyed our stay. Perched high atop Nob Hill (great views!) it's perfectly located to enjoy all that San Francisco has to offer. Although, as pretty much every other reviewer notes, the surrounding hills are steep, very steep. So...plan accordingly. Fortunately, two of the cable car lines are right outside the doors. Rooms were... more

Like The Drake hotel in Chicago, The Fairmont offers something more than the standard 5 star experience. It exudes old fashioned class and history without being stuffy. We took advantage of a summer special room rate of just over £100 per night which by European city standards is excellent value. Admittedly nothing can compare with the stunning lobby but our... more

I was dreaming to stay in this hotel for a long time and when I finally arrived I was in Heaven! It truly is a historic old lady and very elegant. I booked a very special rate from their website and also signed up as a President Club Member which allows free Internet, local calls and speed checkin/out. The location... more

Spent second week of June at the Fairmont. It is a special hotel, we had a room in the tower which is not a suite but has plenty of room and a massive panoramic window. Reception said it had a bay view but that is really on the North Side of the tower, even so it was a great view.... more

This was our second visit to the Fairmont and it was even better than the first (maybe because we were sans kids this time!) The first thing that attracts your attention is the entrance--with the international flags overhead, the red carpet and the lovely doors. Then you step into the incredible lobby--floor to ceiling marble with columns, exquisite furniture and... more

Spoke at a conference at the Fairmont SF - great hotel, very magestic and the usual Fairmont touches. Got to my room and the drapes were open, exposing a view of the golden gate bridge - classical music (my favorite) playing and a fresh cheese and fruit plate with a cold bottle of water... ok.. the rooms are pricy, but... more
